"Rose" - The Oh Hellos
Written by: Hannah Margaret Heath & William Tyler Heath
Tuning: Standard
Key: C
 
[Intro]
Dsus4 C Dsus2 C D5/A
 
[Verse 1]
C
Wars are raising for her
Dsus2 D5/A
Crusades to adore her
C Dsus2 D5/A
The light of your afterword
C Asus4
Are you losing her true nature
Dsus2
When you loosen nomenclature
C Asus4
When you gift another moniker?
C
What's true is like a sickle
C Dsus2
It'll cut you to the middle
C Dsus2
Your rose is without a thorn
C Asus4
But no, my mouth don't taste of metal
Dsus2
From the pot here to the kettle
Dsus2 Asus4
I think we got a lot we gotta learn
 
[Chorus]
C Gsus4 F
And even though by any other name
F C Dsus4 D5/A
Her scent would linger sweetly, all the same
F C
Call her briar long enough
Dsus4 Cmaj7
And you'll tangle up the true and the fable
 
[Instrumental]
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 Asus4
 
[Verse]
C
Your dowry isn't fooling
C Dsus2 D5/A
The pyrite is showing through
C
It won't buy you that empty tomb
Dsus2 C Asus4
And no alchemic incantation
Asus4 Dsus2
For a counterfeit salvation
D5/A Dsus2
Can appease your leviathan groom
C
No, love'll get you slaughtered
Dsus2
Like a ram at the altar
Dsus2 D
What is safe ain't the same as what is good
Asus4
So lay compress to the aching
Dsus2
Of your body made for breaking
Asus4 C
When we've got a lot of breaking left to do
 
[Chorus]
C Gsus4 F
'Cause even under any other creed
F C Dsus4 D5/A
The crucifix and the hangman, they both agree
F C
Change comes so cheaply
Dsus4 Cmaj7
For those of us already at the table
 
[Outro]
Cmaj7 Dsus4 Cmaj7 Dsus4
